Financial information: I am on SSI. It is enough to pay for food and basic necessities, but not to pay for college. I was under the assumption that loans (and grants/scholarships) would be enough to cover the cost college while I am attending, and then I can start paying the loans off after I finish college? I may be in debt for several years after, but it will not be forever.
I have done FAFSA, currently my grants alone have covered my first and second semester, but I have a couple thousand dollars from the loans that I plan on saving for when I transfer to a university.
My parents cannot help fund me going to college.
Thank you for all the helpful answers so far!
